Sam talked about some of the bills that he authored and co-authored that have been enacted into law.

"Isa na rito Regional Specialty Act kung saan magtatayo ng mga centers sa iba't ibang DOH hospitals sa lahat ng region para matutukan yung ibang needs ng mga patients. Advocacy rin natin ito na ginagawa na rin natin sa Maynila at hindi na yan bago sa atin.

"Pangalawa naman ay yung No Exam, No Permit Prohibition Act kung saan pinapayagan na mag exam yung mga disadvantaged students kahit na wala pa silang permit.

Isa pang na approved diyan ay yung Expanded Centenarian Act kung saan ang lola't lolo natin na 80 years old, 85, 90 at 95 ay makakakuha na ng advance na P10,000 bawa't edad na nakuha nila bago sila makatanggap ng P100,000.00 pagdating nila ng100.

"Ilan lang ito sa mga batas na naipasa natin sa Congress na malapit sa puso natin at yan ay gagawin din natin sa Maynila," Sam said.

Sam mentioned that his 165 bills are now at the third reading, indicating that they are in the final stage of consideration before a vote on their final disposition.

"Bukod doon ay meron tayong 165 bills na nasa third reading na. Meaning malapit na itong maging batas.

"Meron dyan pagpapatayo ng Philippine Entrepreneurial Academy na tututok naman sa mga aspiring businessmen.

"Nasa third reading na rin ang pagpapatayo ng evacuation centers sa lahat ng city at municipality sa buong bansa.

"Meron ding magna carta sa mga barangay head workers na magbibigay ng karapatan sa kanila.

"Napakarami nating nagawa noong nasa Congress tayo bukod pa dyan yung mga pinatayo nating sariling programa tulad ng pagpapatayo ng dialysis center, diagnostic center, at SV mobile clinic," Sam added.
